For over 75 years, Long Beach City College has developed innovative educational programs to serve the public. In 1980, the College established the Honors Program to better serve intellectually ambitious, high-achieving students. Today, the program is an important element of the College's curriculum, and its graduates have proven records of success in professional and graduate schools, as well as at the baccalaureate level.

Recent graduates of the Honors Program have transferred to such schools as UCLA, USC, UC Berkeley, UCI, UC San Diego, UC Santa Cruz, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, CSULB, and CSUF.

The Honors Program is housed on the mezzanine of the College Library (Room L203) on the LAC campus.
